That's correct.  I tried the check_case hack and it only goes halfway to 
what I need.

I suppose you are right.  I haven't even got the port up and running 
yet, so the last thing I feel like doing right now is creating another 
parallel branch in the source tree.  I'm basically going to ignore this 
problem for as long as I can, I've got much bigger fish to fry right now.

Thanks,
